Bosses always keen to “reduce the cost of labour.”

Most exploiters go for #automation, but some profiteers take teens from schools into factories. #CEOs on #recordsalaries, – and their #minions – keep wages low #byanymeansnecessary.

This “perfectly legal” #child labour is pushed by groups such as #AmericansforProsperity, various #chambersofcommerce, and #restaurantassociations

A quotation from Aldiss, Brian:

«
When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults and they enter society, one of the politer names of hell. That is why we dread children, even if we love them. They show us the state of our decay.

'It was a #dreamcometrue,' the #man said about the #photoshoot, after he had been denied the opportunity to do so as a child. “Of course my mom wanted me to wear a fucking dress,” Leo said. “I was like fighting tooth and nail. I was like, ‘No, I’m not doing it. I don’t want to do it.’”

Agreed. I have no words for it. Other parents interfering in my children's education?😡
Fine, not at school. As a parent, I decide the rest myself.😡
There was a time when a gay writer was popular in #nl. I read 4 of his books as a #teenager in the 1960s. In the end I just found his books boring.
What's wrong with reading and forming your own opinion as a #child or #teenager about books?

Can my children read Karl May, as I did? Or Uncle Tom's Cabin?
Yes, they should read them.👍

#Hiroshima #Child

I come and stand at every door
But none can hear my silent tread
I knock and yet remain unseen
For I am dead for I am dead

I’m only seven though I died
In Hiroshima long ago
I’m seven now as I was then
When children die they do not grow

My hair was scorched by swirling flame
My eyes grew dim my eyes grew blind
Death came and turned my bones to dust
And that was scattered by the wind

I need no fruit I need no rice
I need no sweets nor even bread
I ask for nothing for myself
For I am dead for I am dead

All that I need is that for peace
You fight today you fight today
So that the children of this world
Can live and grow and laugh and play

These #homophobic #bigots are truly sick individuals. The shit they apparently fantasize about mirrors the false accusations they make about the #LGBTQ community. It's not normal or healthy for adults to spend their days hyperfocused on bizarre #child #sexualization fantasies while pretending to be champions for child safety. It is the worst sort of #projection, and a strong indicator that they are the ones who #children need to be protected from.

Oh Look-- Supposedly Things Could Get Better For Us Disabled People

We will see ...

Excerpt:

"The proposed update to the #HHS Section 504 regulations clarifies obligations in several crucial areas that are not explicitly addressed in the current rule and improves consistency with legislative developments since the current regulations were issued. OCR has put together a detailed factsheet, and OCR and ACL will jointly host a webinar for stakeholders on the proposed rule on September 11 at 1:00 PM ET (register here).

Several highlights of the new areas in the proposed rule include:

#Discrimination in medical treatment:

Ensures that medical treatment decisions are not based on biases or stereotypes about people with disabilities, judgments that an individual will be a burden on others, or beliefs that the life of an individual with a disability has less value than the life of a person without a disability. These include, for example, decisions about life-sustaining treatment, organ transplantation, rationing care in emergencies, and other vital #medical decisions.

#Accessibility of medical equipment:

Adopts the U.S. Access Board’s accessibility standards for medical equipment to address barriers like exam tables that are inaccessible because they are not height-adjustable, weight scales that cannot accommodate people who use wheelchairs, and mammogram machines that require an individual to stand to use them. The rule would require most doctor’s offices to have an accessible exam table and weight-scale within two years.

Web, mobile app, and kiosk accessibility:

Adopts the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA accessibility standards for websites and mobile applications. It also requires self-service kiosks to be accessible. These provisions are particularly important given the increased use of websites, apps, telehealth, video platforms, and self-service kiosks to access health care.
Child welfare programs and activities: Clarifies requirements in HHS-funded child welfare programs and activities to help eliminate discriminatory barriers faced by children, parents, caregivers, foster parents, and prospective parents with disabilities, such using the presence of a disability or an individual’s IQ score alone as a reason for removal of a #child, prohibiting disabled parents from serving as foster parents, or failing to place disabled children who need services in the most integrated settings appropriate to their needs.

#Community integration:

Clarifies obligations to provide services in the most integrated setting appropriate to a person’s needs, consistent with the Supreme Court’s decision in Olmstead v. L.C. This provision has been central to vindicating the right to community living.

Value assessment methods:

To establish whether a particular intervention, such as a medicine or treatment, will be provided and under what circumstances, health care organizations often use a variety of methods to evaluate whether the benefits of the intervention outweigh the costs. These “value assessment methods” are an increasingly significant tool for cost containment and quality improvement efforts, but they may discriminate against people with disabilities when they place a lower value on extending the life of a person with disability. The proposed rule prohibits the discriminatory use of such methods to deny or limit access to aids, benefits, or services."

Contrary to popular misconception, Hedy #Lamarr did NOT invent #WiFi, and the idea of frequency-hopping broad spectrum was originally developed by George #Antheil, with whom Lamarr "collaborated".

From the #history, her "collaboration" looks like pilfering of his ideas and efforts. She was no saint and was no stranger to attention seeking, impulsive and destructive behaviour, and was an awful mother who adopted a #child, made his life hell, then got rid of him.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy's administration is suing three #schooldistricts that require #teachers to #tell #parents if their #child is showing signs of #changing their #GenderIdentity. Murphy tells "#FacetheNation" that "it's the right thing to do" and the issue has turned into a "complete culture war."

Carlson mused, “It does seem like #anarcho-#tyranny is one of these ideas, you know, that some political philosopher thought up a long time ago.”

Well, no. The expression belongs to #Sam #Francis—the late #paleoconservative columnist whose disgust with establishment Republicans, managerial elites (of any party), and the idea of a majority-minority America has led him to be widely cited by intellectuals of the #MAGA movement.

Francis’ idea was not that anarcho- tyranny was an age-old problem, but rather that it was the product of an “entirely new form of government” that was “unique in human history.”

In a 1994 article, Francis proclaimed that a first-of-its-kind “Hegelian synthesis” had been created by the upper class as the 20th century closed. This perversion forced the aggrieved masses to live under both anarchy and tyranny at once.

Here, he suggested, was a government imposing on "us" while allowing "them" to do as they pleased.

And the identities of us and them were clear: Francis wrote from a home office that was once #Robert #E. #Lee’s childhood bedroom. He was pushed out of the right-wing Washington Times in 1995 for, essentially, being #too #bigoted. He obsessed over any restrictions that could touch a middle-class white person: #speed #limits, the #tax #code, #gun #laws, and even #child #porn #statutes.

But he often ignored other oppressions enforced by the state: #slavery, #Jim #Crow, and generations of deliberate #economic #dispossession.

I looked at my son's face and it had changed. I felt a lurch in my stomach. He isn't the same boy he was a day ago, the angles of his face are clearer, his eyes betray deeper thoughts.

This happens every so often, one wakes up and realizes the #child has evolved. It seems like flowers - one day they aren't there at all, the next in full bloom.

I stay for a few extra minutes listening to his story. I try to be present, available. I want him to know he is loved in more than words.

5/5 But that puts me where I am; struggling to reign in my #child a bit without stifling his love for being at school with his friends; teaching him when it’s okay to sing, dance, and run without keeping him from singing new songs, dancing new dances, or running where no one has run before. I love this kid and just want to do right by him. So today I’m struggling. #Parenting is hard and it takes a team. Today I’m trying to figure out the best way to contribute to the team and care for my kid.

Investigators also seized terabytes of data and electronic devices that were being used during the commission of these crimes. The devices are being examined forensically and may lead to the investigation of other offenders and additional charges.

Rich said many of the arrests were the result of leads generated through reporting to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Wyoming Limiting Child Marriage Sparks Republican Outrage

The Wyoming Republican Party is seeking to kill a bill working its way through the state Legislature proposing to raise the state's legal marriage age to 16, arguing that putting "arbitrary" limits on child marriage interferes with parental rights and religious liberty.

The bill—which already passed the Republican-controlled Wyoming House of Representatives on a 36-25 vote late last month—proposes banning state residents from marrying anyone under the age of 16, while requiring anyone under the age of 18 seeking to get married to receive written consent from their parents under the eye of a competent witness.

Efforts to raise the age of marriage in the state have consistently stalled.

As #child labor law violations have been on the rise in the US, some GOP state legislators are pushing for changes at state and federal levels to roll back protections in what some see as a threat to return child labor to the country.

The laws aim to expand permissible work hours, broaden the types of jobs young workers are permitted to do, and shield employers from liability for injuries, illnesses or workplace fatalities involving very young workers

If I was a #teacher in #Florida, I would no longer be a teacher in Florida.

If I was a #parent of a #school aged #child I would be moving my family out of Florida.

Teachers in Florida are now under threat of a 3rd degree #felony if they allow access to any book not on the specifically state-allowed books for kids to read. According to the comments I have seen from several teachers, this list is next to impossible to obtain - so they are having to remove everything but textbooks from their classrooms.

This is oppressive dictatorship stuff. These people love calling everyone else "communists" but this is exactly the sort of things that #communist rulers have done in China, Russia, and North Korea.
